Src Innovations LLC maintains a focused patent portfolio within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently manages 1 pending office action. This active matter is assigned to a distinct examiner, indicating a concentrated prosecution pipeline at this stage. This concentration suggests that the company's current legal strategy is tied to a specific set of claims or a priority application.
Prosecution activity is limited to 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is TECCO, ANDREW M, who is responsible for a pending office action. This examiner's workload represents the entirety of the company's current pending actions before the office. For a practitioner, this means that the immediate success of the portfolio depends on the specific examination style and prior art interpretations of this individual within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. The lack of distribution across multiple art units reflects a streamlined approach to intellectual property development.
